Dual-Slot Desktop Charger The Dual-Slot Desktop Charger contains: Front compartment for charging the battery while attached to the phone Rear compartment for charging the battery alone (not attached to the phone) Red light to indicate that the battery is charging (A yellow light indicates that the battery is operating at a temperature that is too high or too low, or that the battery is misaligned in the charger. Please check the charger and battery.) Green light to indicate that the battery is fully charged 8

21 Getting Started Charging the Battery To charge the battery using the Dual-Slot Desktop Charger: 1. Plug the power cord of the charger into a wall outlet. 2.

Keep the metal contacts at the battery base clean. Do not attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery, as injuries or burns may result. Replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. Do not store the battery in high-temperature areas for a long time. Do not allow metal objects or liquids to contact or short-circuit the battery terminals, as injuries or burns may result.
